I am joining the Century Club

After 10 days of stalling at 99 pounds lost, I just weighed in and I am down to 101 pounds lost. Whoo hoo! I am doing a happy dance.

I love my sleeve. I noticed last week that I am often no longer the biggest person in the room. I fit into booths in restaurants, and have a good 6 inches to spare between me and the steering wheel. I am down three clothing sizes, and I feel great. It is amazing. I still can't believe it.

to all of you who are pre-surgery and nervous, or haven't decided, or are struggling with the post-op recovery, I want to tell you - it is hard but it is so worth it.

I don't know how to plug pictures into this message, but I have a few before and now pictures in my profile.

Thank you all for your support along the way. Its been an adventure.

Congratulations, Carole! Isn't nice to look around and know you're smaller than other people? I just realized that the other day and it was a GREAT feeling :-)
